NOKESVILLE — It’s that time of year again for the residents of Nokesville, Nokesville Day is back with a few changes this year.
Nokesville is a small village in western Prince William County. Each year, it hosts a festival called Nokesville Day which takes place on Saturday, May 19 this year.
One of the significant changes happening this year at Nokesville Day is the change in location. The location moves from Brentsville District High School to Fitzwater Drive.
“Fitzwater Drive is the heart of the town of Nokesville,” said Mark Olsen, Nokesville Day Organizer. “The Nokesville Day event has its roots and has been held annually since 1973.”
The Nokesville Day parade changes location as well. The parade starts at 11 a.m. and proceeds down Fitzwater Drive. It starts at Brentsville High School and ends of Free Street. The parade is organized by a committee made up of Nokesville clubs.
“This year the parade is being organized by a committee including the Nokesville Business Association, Friends Uniting Nokesville, Nokesville/Bristow Ruritan Club, and several citizens of Nokesville,” Olsen said. “The parade is a celebration of Americana, fire trucks old and new, bands, antique cars and tractors, community groups, and recognizing the Brentsville Class of 1968.”
The day includes many vendors, including crafts, non-profits, and food vendors. It also includes moon bounces and laser tag along with other activities for families to enjoy.
“Some of the specific vendors for Nokesville Day include Blue Dog BBQ, My Glass Garden, Farm Bureau Women’s Committee, Lazertag2you, Skeleton Key Treasure, Swirlies Soft Serve Ice Cream, Lambert Bounce Houses, Golf Cats by Troy Rose, Kettle Corn, and many, many more,” Olsen said.
The Nokesville/Bristow Ruritan Club will be having their Cow Pie Bingo raffle for $1,000. A cow makes a deposit on a numbered grid and the winner is declared. Tickets are $10 a piece. The Nokesville Church of Brethren is having a full day of family activities at the church that has yet to be announced.
“Nokesville Day is a day to celebrate the history and the vibrant community that is Nokesville,” Olsen said. “Please come out and explore the many shops, businesses, and restaurants throughout Nokesville which are open all year.”
